Saw an interesting conversation in EC about Druids.

I'll offer one more piece of advice.

Decide what makes this game fun for you.

At the end of the day, this is a game, we play it because it's fun. What makes the game fun is different for everyone.

Are you able to play the game and have fun exploring, killing and soloing without having the absolute best in slot item equipped in every slot?

Druid will be a fine class for you. They can solo effecitvely at all levels, and can even do so without any gear at all. Items are not a crutch for the class, and they only serve to make what they do a little easier.

Do you need the absolute best item in every slot, plus grouping/raiding in the highest end zones in the game? Don't play a Druid.

From what I understand, you're fairly new here. Druid is never a bad idea for someone new, much like a Necromancer. If you level the Druid up, get level 60, you'll find it no problem to get the platinum you need to properly equip another character that is perfect for grouping/raiding the end game. But if you feel the need to get level 60 ASAP and start farming ph4t l3wtz and raiding VP, I fear you're wasting your time with the Druid.
